herImran Khan(Ex-Prime minister of Pakistan, founder of PTI, and former cricketer) Bushra Bibi ( Wife of PTI leader Imran khan ) jailed 7 years for illegal marriage: Latest Update!
The court ruled that the 2018 marriage of Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi was un- Islamic and illegal. Imran khan is already in jail for the cypher case and his wife Bushra Bibi is also jailed for the 14 years and now on another case jailed for 7 years.
Last Wednesday, a week before a general election, the pair were convicted of profiting from state gifts.
A court was set up inside the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, where Imran Khan is serving his previous sentences, for the latest case. The complaint was filed by Bibi’s ex-husband, who said her marriage with Khan had been fraudulent.
Under Muslim family law, women are prohibited from remarrying for a few months after their husband dies or they are divorced. The court found that Bibi had remarried before the completion of the stipulated time following her divorce.
With the seven-year jail sentence, the court imposed a fine of 500,000 rupees ($1,800; £1,420)on Khan and Bibi. The couple married in 2018, months before Khan was elected prime minister. Bibi, a spiritual healer believed to be in her 40s and always wears a veil in public, is Khan’s third wife. But now entangled in such controversies.
Even before the latest sentences were handed down, many were questioning the credibility of next week’s election as Khan and his party have been sidelined. The authorities deny carrying out a crackdown, but many of PTI leaders are behind bars or have defected even they lay a hold on their party sign.
Party strikers
Thousands of the party’s supporters were rounded up after protests – at times violent – when Khan was taken into custody last year. The man tipped to win is three-time former PM Nawaz Sharif who recently returned from UK, which was also demanded by the court on soo many corruption cases. He was jailed for corruption ahead of the 2018 election that Imran Khan won. Many analysts say he is now favored by Pakistan’s powerful military establishment.
